TERRITORIAL PLANNING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT: INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE

Territorial planning and urban planning are key elements of sustainable development of cities, ensuring efficient use of land resources and creating a comfortable environment for life. Studying international experience in this area allows you to identify best practices and avoid common mistakes, which is especially important for Ukraine, which is on the way to reforming its urban planning system. Despite numerous attempts at reform, territorial planning in Ukraine still faces the problems of inefficient use of land resources, inconsistency between different levels of planning, and insufficient integration of modern technologies. The purpose of this study is to analyze the international experience of territorial planning and urban planning, determine its impact on Ukrainian practice, and develop recommendations for improving planning and management processes in Ukraine. The object of the study is territorial planning and urban planning as a sphere of social development. The subject of the research is international practices and their influence on the Ukrainian territorial planning system. The following methods are used in the research: comparative analysis to study approaches to territorial planning in different countries, case studies to analyze successful examples of urban planning projects, systemic analysis to assess the impact international practices on Ukrainian territorial planning. The authors researched the theoretical foundations of territorial planning, conducted a comparative analysis of international experience, assessed the impact of international practices on the Ukrainian system, and developed recommendations for their implementation. The study showed that the adaptation of international experience can significantly improve the effectiveness of territorial planning in Ukraine. In particular, it is recommended to implement modern information systems for planning and management, to reform the legal framework taking into account the best global practices, as well as to develop international cooperation for the exchange of knowledge and experience.
